قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ هُنَّ يُسْمِنَّ وَ ثَلَاثٌ يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ هُنَّ يَهْزِلْنَ وَ اثْنَانِ يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَ اثْنَانِ يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَمَّا اللَّوَاتِي لَا يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ يُسْمِنَّ اسْتِشْعَارُ الْكَتَّانِ وَ الطِّيبُ وَ النُّورَةُ وَ أَمَّا اللَّوَاتِي يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ يَهْزِلْنَ فَهُوَ اللَّحْمُ الْيَابِسُ وَ الْجُبُنُّ وَ الطَّلْعُ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ الْجَرَزُ وَ الْكُسْبُ وَ اللَّذَانِ يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَالْمَاءُ الْفَاتِرُ وَ الرُّمَّانُ وَ اللَّذَانِ يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَاللَّحْمُ الْيَابِسُ وَ الْجُبُنُّ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ ثَمَّ قُلْتَ يَهْزِلْنَ وَ قُلْتَ هَاهُنَا يَضُرَّانِ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْهُزَالَ مِنَ الْمَضَرَّةِ .
Translation
From him, from one of our companions, raising it, said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Three things which are nor eaten and these fatten, and three are eaten and these slim (the body), and two benefit from every things and do not harm from anything, and two harm from everything and do not benefit from anything. So as for those which are not eaten and these fatten are the linen, and the perfume, and the Noura (Lime-wax); and as for those which are eaten and they slim (the body), so these are the dried meat, and the cheese, and the spadix’ – and in another Hadeeth: ‘The Prairie moon (a herb), and oil-cake; and the two which benefit from everything and do not harm from anything the luke-warm water and the pomegranate; and those two which harm from everything and do not benefit from everything, so it is the dried meat, and the cheese’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! Then you<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They slimmen (the body)’, and over here they are both harmful’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But do you not know that the slimming is from the harmful?’
